Implementing Cubic Splines

In this video, we review the basic ideas behind splines and how one might calculate them. This is one of those cases where I think you should implement the process once yourself to make sure you understand what’s going on, then subsequently use the canned routines common in many math packages such as Numpy/Scipy.

This is a prelude to a future video on using splines to solve differential and partial differential equations so I wanted to make sure we’ve gone over the basics first.

Hello, Kevin,
I hope this message finds you well. I am a student at San Diego State University, currently studying finance. I recently discovered your YouTube channel and I have to say, I am blown away by the high quality and helpful content you produce. I was wondering if there might be a way for us to chat about some of the finance topics you cover in your videos. I am really eager to learn from you and any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
